Welcome to the last one of these for the month of March. Crazy right? The timing! This is literally the last one and the last day of the month too. How was your week? Or your month?
1. Its been a year since I lost my job at Babies R Us. The store closed on March 29th I worked last there March 28th. I won't forget that date the day or the store I dearly still miss. And truly wish I could have spent more time with. I love you BRU wherever all my ex co workers are. I have seen a few and such but not everyone and I am only friends with someone on facebook. So miss you all
2. Hot Chocolate 5K was very fun! Our 8th year doing it been doing it since the beginning so its been 8 years since they began. Our longest race we do every year. It was a bit harder this year because I couldn't be eating so much chocolate so I only had some stuff covered in it and drank less hot chocolate. I still had fun. And I am glad we did it and continue to do it. It was a nice day.
3. School off for this week but still I worked on my show. And now I want to work on making podcasts similar to my show because I love it. I would love to have a job that pays me that is like this. I mean it. I want a new job that I love that satisfies me gives me peace and does not stress me out badly all the time.
4. Work slow and usual of course. I want them to hire more people. I want them to have more people there. I want to talk to my manger so I can fix my schedule. Instead I suffer deeply about stuff I cannot change. Why me.
5. Thursday we went to Universal Studios for like 5 hours. We had a lot of fun. I am glad we are back. I didnt like that spring break crowded. But otherwise fun day got to ride 3 ride east stuff drink stuff. And promise to come back again next week.
Well that is all for now. Hope you all have a better week and a great start to April. See you next one.

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 24th 2019)
Welcome to almost the last one of these for March. Crazy talk. But yes that is true so true. How was your week?
1. Work is going okay. I only worked since I last wrote 3 times not my 5 more below numbers. But still I did work. And per usual very busy on weekend very shorthanded during the week. Means less breaks for me and more not fun for me too. Ugh. I seriously need a new job but finding one has not even begun to happen so here I am still struggling along till I do.
2. GYM did it once. Almost twice. Went before school on Tuesday. Was fun. Got a good 45min in then took off for school. I love the GYM. Almost went on Thursday but things and plans changed so never did oh well. But yeah love the gym. At least I am getting what I need to do for paying for it I mean.
3. Show 8 is done and fun. I messed up a bit sorry. But had fun. Hard to believe half way through the semester. Off next week for Spring break. I will miss you all! And as of the 1st of April I will be doing an online class too. Gulp gulp. But I need 6 units to keep the student loans from coming after me. So there you go.
4. Thursday we were all set to go to the movies to see Captain Marvel. My sister seen it I have not. Sadly the day did not turn out like I wanted it to. My sister too sick to do much else including the GYM. My dad was working on the garage to get in a new chair. Well my tummy felt funny all day. I still don't know what happened. But right after the movie and during the movie too I was very sick to my stomach. I almost threw up middle of movie. After the movie we walking to the car and I felt funny I thought I was okay. But my sister had left over food she opened it up and I ran for the bush and well not good. I ended up only once but came home ate nothing all night. And rest of Friday till afternoon. I had to call out of work. I don't know if it was the flu or was it food poisoning or what but it was not fun. I hate throwing up! EW so yeah that is the second time at that theater I have thrown up. Ugh. And I lost 8hrs of work too my next check is gonna suck :(
5. Saturday went to the Hot Chocolate Expo. They didnt have stuff they normally had. We normally have fun. Get samples and well have fun. But we got some stuff I bought us each a shirt and a blanket for me. So yeah the race is on TODAY. But more about that next week...
See you all then! God bless you. Have a good one :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 17th 2019)
Happy St Patricks Day to you!! I think we are all a little Irish in some ways. But I do have a tiny bit in me something I learned bacon 2002. So I have a little Irish in me makes me smile. I want to visit Ireland someday its like a life long goal to visit that country along with a few other ones but honesty it will be years from now when I have stable income and make enough to save for such places.
1. Show 7 went well for school. I actually had fun, got my news people on the air on time and right and everything went very smooth! One more show left before Spring break next week is the last one. Then a week off then another 8 weeks. Weird how close we are to half way through my shows. And I will be starting a fast track online class beginning April 1st. Adding that to my already. busy schedule. I swear if I am at this job again in the Fall I will be taking off a third day making it only 4 days a week. Too tiring.
2. Work is exhausting. I want to ask my manager to change my hours and I am unsure if she will. I haven't seen her in almost 2 weeks now. Sadly. So I have been carrying around a sheet I made up to give her. In the end it doesn't hurt to try but it makes me nervous all the same. Anyways work keeps me busy and stressed out. I have nervous break downs every few days. Jesus gets me through them. He is okay with me crying like crazy. How long do I want to stay at a job that is clearly stressing me out beyond belief most of the time? I mean most people think its an easy job till they take my spot for a break or when I get off. Then they see its not easy. And people are not nice. Most are some are not. Every day I deal with people making fun of me, being nasty, refusing to give me a receipt or fighting when they do. They like to say things to me like "I paid for all this" or "I wouldn't steal" or "Do I look like someone who would steal?" Um no. I have to check everyone I especially have to check certain things. But I try to check most. Its my job! And because people were stealing back in 2017 when this began I have to check. Because the small 2% were stealing I have to make sure you aren't taking from us on purpose or accident. I would never fight a receipt check I wasn't happy but never fought it when I did it before this at other Walmarts.
3. GYM did it once again this week. Yeah me! I want to go more than once. I wanted to maybe go on Thursday but my sister made other plans even though it didnt rain we didnt do anything together. SO I got up and just did bird watching and planned my show. That was all. But yeah for GYM on Tuesday even when I was running on like 2hrs of sleep longest day in forever ugh.
4. IHOP free pancakes on Tuesday was fun!! Yes I ate them. Then off to the GYM then after school I went downtown to get my medicine last time ever at my doctor probably. I have lost medi-cal and I am unsure what to do about it. I need to look into other health insurance and in the mean time enjoy my last pills. And trust God for the next steps. My options so far are $87 a month and $650 end of year along with $50 for meds so that eventually they will be less than $5 for each one. And $15 for an office visit. This coming from someone who was making just enough to get by and save a little. I will not be saving anymore and struggling all cause I make a tad bit more than my free medical makes. This is another reason this job sucks. Its taking my free medical when I actually need it.
5. Weather is behaving again!! Sunny skies breezy days. And butterflies that are going through our area every day traveling from Mexico to OR up the coast. I love it. Sad when I find them dead happy when I see them flying. They so pretty. I am sad still that butterflies have such short lives 1 day to 1 week is what I heard. So this is a big deal them doing this.
Well that is all for now. Next weekend is the Hot Chocolate Race. And that follows up with my Spring break. And Universal. And if weather permits this week a trip to the Safari Park with our passes. This year is flying by and so far we barely gone to the zoo once. Ugh. Heres hopeful for good days ahead. And a better job soon that I can sit down and enjoy. Hopefully something I went to school for and graduated almost 15 years ago in May will be!! God bless you always. See you next week!!

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 10th 2019)
Trying to do this every week again!! Being that lazy isn't cool but its like my new thing. Sorry again!!
1. The 9th marked 10 years since my school CSB closed its doors for good. I was SO sad when I heard this! I had worked hard in March till July 2008 to get my certification for tv and radio. Excited to be with a school that promised to help me get experience internships and a job eventually. Then nearly a year later it was gone. The school closed. It opened up for a short time. I was able to get my demo from them that I had worked on that was all I got. My internship tries and eventually the one I did were from the one in Georgia that did not close. I miss that school will never fully understand why they closed.
2. Rain rain go away. Yes its gone for now today. But still NOT cool! I hate this weather. We had nice weather for a near week then it came back again last week mostly on Tuesday and Wednesday. We had a nice day on Thursday. It was gonna rain then didnt. But I didnt do anything. I ended up just hanging out at home working on my show and taking bird pictures. No complaints!
3. School show 6 was okay. I blame the fact I had two different news people and it was week 1 for them. Sorry for any mess ups I didnt help on my side. Hope this week is better! I will try harder I promise. Just 10 more shows. And just two more before Spring break yikes! But yeah I love my show. And my manager loves my variety. I need to put fourth the effort to actually get a real job now and stop just only doing this. It will take time and work but I can do it if I try retail is NOT my forever! I met up with a former co worker after my show. I haven't seen her in almost a year. Weird. Our store anniversary date is coming up fast. I still miss the store. I know it sucked the hours were not always great. The location was far from home. But with my current job I miss it more. :(
4. Work this week blah blah blah. I am now closing all the time. I hate this. I am back to my other job. Except I work later then 10. I used to be off by 10 latest. Sure my sister didnt get me half the time till like 10:30 or 11. So I guess there is that. I am trying to next week get my manger to change my hours to 10 on at least two days. And its killing me. I am now more tired for church Sundays and all I do after. And more tired for school. You would think sleeping in would get me more sleep but because I have early days both after those two it really is just draining in me new ways. But I have hit my 3 month mark! I got my discount card as proof. And I can look into the benefits I get now like qualified for medical with my company. Since I lost my medical I need to figure this out asap. I will lose Medi Cal at end of month :(
5. GYM time I did that once on Tuesday. I forced myself up early and went to the GYM then took the Sprinter to school. Did my show and met up. I loved it! I mean it was hard getting up earlier but I think worth it. I wanted to try with my sister on Thursday but he made other plans so bummer guess not.
Well that is all for now. Hope you all have a great week! We are 2 weeks from the hot chocolate race. I cannot wait. And we are trying our best to do a trip to Universal during my Spring break so I can finally use my pass. I can go whenever my sister however could have it blocked since she has gone her first whenever trip. Lets be hopeful! I need stuff to look forward to. See you all next week. God bless you always!! :)

The Weekend 5 (Sunday, March 3rd 2019)
You are NOT imagining things! I skipped last week. I was extremely tired and sometimes I find it hard to come up with 5 whole things that happen in my week when I virtually do very little but work and go to school. Sorry!! So this is a combo between last week (February 24th) and this week (March 3rd)
1. I skipped church twice and I felt bad the second time. I never want to miss again unless I need to. The first week and well both were because I was sick. I am still fighting it I think. But I think its more allergies now. I am going to look into some medicine that I hope works for it. But still I was sick so I was not just skipping for extra sleep. My sister was sick so my parents stayed home and it made it easier to sleep in and skip. But even if they don't go today I will not be skipping again till the 24th when we do our hot chocolate race. I CANNOT WAIT!! Work has not given it to me off yet no idea why I asked on the 9th of Feb. I will be talking to my MGR again this week since I will know by next weekend I got it off or not. Sigh.
2. Tax return FINALLY came for me. I have NO idea why it took nearly a week more than my sister to get mine. I was about to actually contact the IRS then I saw they were posting on Wednesday of last week and they finally did. Yeah!! I got what I wanted mostly. My pass for universal, my Fitbit watch and my iPod. Plus money for the race a few other small things and set aside $200 for savings. I save when I can from work too. I am waiting for my toys r us check I will save another $100 and spend the rest. I like having extra in my account to just spend when I want no plans. My watch came and I hope my new iPod will too. Now to set that up will be hard and odd.
3. I am still waiting to hear back from medical. Due to my job I guess they figured it out they wanted me to renew. Well if I make $16 a year they can cut me off. Then with diabetes I will have nothing. NOT happy. I try to not stress it out. I have given this to God. I have nothing else to do. If I lose it I will be forced to get my own which could be costly and I don't make enough to really pay for anything. Then I will be doing my medical stuff for diabetes without the meds. And I am not really eating healthy enough to bail on meds all together. They pick the worse time to do this to me. Sadness.
4. GYM did this last week and I was happy. Only went once on Thursday had to work hard to do it but we went!! This week I might go on Tuesday and Thursday again. I am hoping. So tired of just paying $20 a month for something I don't use anymore. I still miss a job that was near a gym and my chances to go there were much greater. I used to go while at BRU 3 or 4x a week while my sister rarely went. Now we both rarely go. While we both work retail jobs mine I just stand there. I am truly not working out and need to actually work out. I also need to re set up my wiifit again since we got a new DVD player months ago just haven't.
5. My shows are going on well. Show 4 I had fun at school! And Show 5 was great. Except it didnt record right so of course once again I am left with my second time of not having a recording of a show I loved doing :( Sadness!! Few more weeks till Spring break. And this week I will have a news person on my show on my last hour. Should be interesting...
well sadly the rain is back. And will be most of this week. I was so happy to see sunny skies. I even went out on Thursday took bird pictures for the first time in weeks! This week will be raining today Wednesday Thursday and Friday maybe Saturday unsure. I hope its gone by next weekend. Also hopeful my days off approved and we can finally go to the safari park zoo or universal on a day off we both have me and my sisters. Heres to hoping. God bless you all!! See you all next weekend!!
